Coiogne's Great Bell.

An official notice has been published
of the great bell for the Cathedral OF
Cologne, the solemn Inauguration OF
which took place some days ago with
great pomp. The bell weighs 27,OOC
kilos, or about 26 tons 10 hundred
weight The clapper alone weighs
800 kilos, or nearly 153 hundredweigh t.
Its perpendicular height is almost 144
feet; its diameter at the mouth nearly
III feet. Twenty-Five cannon taken
from the French were assigned by the
Emperor William for its manufacture;
5000 kilos of tin were added.
1t was cast by Andreas Hamm of
Franenthal, and p, 900 marks Gel ,05O)
were paid for the casting. 1t will be
known as the Kaiserglocke. or Emper-
or's bell as the two other large bells in
the cathedral bear the epithets, re-
spectlvely, of Pretiosa (precious) and
Speciosa beautifully this one is styled
Gloriosa. 1t bears above an inscrip-
ton recording that William, the
most august Emperor of the Germans
and King of the Prussians, mindful of
the heavenly help granted to him
whereby he conducted the late French
war to prosperous issue and restored
the German Empire, caused cannon
taken from the French to be devoted to
founding a bell to be hung in the Won
derful cathedral then approaching
completion. A likeness of ST. Peter,
the name patron of the church, is on
the side, beneath which is a quatrain
in the style of the medieval conceits.
praying that, as devouts heart rise
heavenward at hearing the sound of
the bell, so may the doorkeeper of
Heaven open wide the gates of the
celestial mansion. On the opposite side
is inscribed sestet in German, Of
which the translation is:
/ am called the Emperors bell;
proclaim the Emperor's honor;
On the holy watch-tower ] am placed.
pray for the German Empire,
That peace and protection
God may ever grant to it.
The bell was solemnly blessed in the
cathedral by the Archbishop of
Cologne according to the elaborate
ritual set out in the Pontificale Ro-
manum. The ceremony was very long,
many psalms being chanted by the
clergy and choristers while the bell was
being sprinFied with blessed water
and anointeo with chrism, and the por-
ton of st. Luke, X. 1872, was chanted
by deacon. Incense and myrrh We're
burned within it and many symbolical
rites performed. The opinions of ex-
perts are divided as to whether the
note which the bell sounds is sharp
or D.-London Times.

MIR. Hathaway's Buttons.

There is curious story told in re-
gard to G. F. Hathaway, Esq. pro-
prietor of the extensive shirt works in
Waterville, Mr.. Hathaway, it seems,
wears no buttons on his coats except
those absolutely necessary to keep
them together. This eccentricity is
thus accounted for: Mr.. Hatha-
way one day met one of his oper-
atives, a girl about Is deckcd out
in furbelows and various bright colored
ribbons. Noticing a particularly fas-
cinating bow in her hair, Mr.. Hatha-
way said:
what do you wear that for? Does
it make you look or feel any better?'
1.-The girl pertly replied: What
makes you wear buttons on the back
of your coat?"
The justice of the criticism struck
Mr.. Hathaway SO forcibly that he has
never allowed his tailor, since then, to
make him anything but buttonless coat

HoOdlumism Among Girls.

The growth of hoodlumism among
girls is bad sign in our social life.
We have sufficiently indicated that this
peculiar feminine development is not
confined to any station or class. 1t
prevails among rich and poor very
much alike. Neither is the girl hood
lum any worse in fact than the boy
hoodlum, though she seems worse,
probably on account of the higher
plane woman occupies in the popular
estimation. In conclusion, the Re-
publican disclaims any intention to
charge that hoodlumism is sweeping
over the country lake tidal-wave to
engulf American womanhood. 1t is
already too prevalent, and is ap-
parently increasing, but it lies in the
power of the sensible women of this
country to stay its progress, and the
effort is worth making. Let every
woman teach her daughter that no
higher compliment can ever be paid
her than the simple words, ''she is a
perfect lady" addressed to other ears
than her oWn.-St. Louis Republican,

That is to say. your lungs. Also all

larger air-passages, but the thousands of

your lungs cannot half do their work.

/ was conversing the other evening
with young married man of my ac-
quaintance. writes Boston correspon-
ent of the Pittsburg Dispatch, on a
subject which has recently attracted
some attention in the newspapers and
agazines-namely, the financial re-
lations THAI should exist between hus-
band and wife. The ideas he ex.
pressed were so strikingly original that
/ can not forbear to quote them. Said
he: Before | abandoned the condition
of bachelorhood / had made up my
mind, from extended observations, that
the average husband was pig. did
not wish to be pig myself, and so
determined to pursue in everything a
course precisely the reverse of that
followed by the average husband. The
average husband makes a great fuss il
he is requested to do an err&nd. Ac-
cordingly | make point of asking my
wife before | go to my office every
morning for a list of commissions,
which | execute with the utmost care.
The average husband at home bullies
the woman, frets like year-old infan,
over everything that does not suit him,
and makes his family unhappy. | try
to do just the opposite. The average
husband doles out his money to his
wife as if she were a beggar. There
fore, l give my wife every cent | earn,
and she makes me an allowance fol
pocket money.
For it seems to me-" continued this
eccentric young man, ''that the notion
entertained by the average husband
concerning his wife's rights in the
family purse is as wrong as wrong can
be. In sober truth he thinks she has
not any. He supports the family, and
for the money he generously gives her
she should be duly grateful Now, in
my opinion, this is false assumption.
As a rule, she does as much to support
the family as he does, and | can very
easily prove it. Take my own case as
an example. We live very comforta-
bly,, although our means are not suffi-
cient to employ more than one
domestic. But if / had no wife Ishould
have to engage housekeeper, with an
under servant, and it would cost me
nearly twice as much to keep up my
little establishment as it does now; in
fact, l could not live on my in
come. Thus, you see, that my wife Is
equally with myself a producer OF
values She makes as much money
as | but in another form. l enjoy a
share of what she produces. Is she,
then, not entitled to a share of what ]
produce? What | have said is SIM
ply intended to cover the case of the
average husband, who is a pig. Ger
tainly no gentleman who deserves the
name will force his wife to beg for any,
thing he has to give, whether he has a
right to it or not"
Now, did anybody ever hear of such
an absurd young man as this?

AChinese Agony Column.

The North China Herald gives one or
two very curious specimens OF adver-
tisements which apper in the Chinese
papers. One is from mother to her
son who has run away from home, and
it is worded as follows: Take care
that YOU are not struck down by light
ming. Your mother weeps bitterly for
YOU as she pens these lines in order
that they may be read by her SON.
When you ran away from home on the
30th of the eighth moon, the people OF
the shop came and asked us what had
become of you; it was thus that we
learned your flight. | nearly died of
fright. and since then my food and
sleep have benefited me but little. |
am still crying and moaning. | have
received your letter which has come
from beyond the horizon, but it does
not tell me where | can find you. l
am now at almost the last extremity.
and our family has had to put up with
cruel insult from stranfiers. If you do
not return | can stand all this no long
er and shall assuredly put an end to
my existence, in which ease you would
be in danger of being struck down by
lightning. If You return. no matter in
what way, all will be arranged l
have even invented plan by which
your father will know nothing of your
escapade. My life or death is a ques-
ton of only few moro days. l en-
treat all well-disposed persons to
spread abroad the advertisement, go
that may be read by all whom it may
concern. They viii thus earn pro-
fusion of hidden merit. WRITTEN by
woman Of Soncho-Take care that you
are not struck by hghtnlngT" A
second advertisements is from has
band whose wife has run away with
man whom she had met in a tea-house.
The advertisement sets ont at great
length the circumstances attending the
elopement, and offers reward of $40
to anyone giving him information as
to her whereabouts.

In book entitled "The Beer Of the
Bible" the author undertakes to prove
that the leaven which the Israelites
carried out of Egypt with them was an
Egyptian beer called ''hooza." This
discovery is more important than at
first thought it appears to be, for now
it is easily understood why the Egyp-
tan hosts took to water when the Is
raelites had run off with all the beer.

An officer of the U. s. Signal Service
has taken up his quarters at Key West,
Fla, for the purpose of establishing be-
tween that point and the West Indian
Islands, communication by means of car
rier pigeons, for the benefit of the sig
nal service. The experiment will be
commenced with fifty young birds.
When properly trained, he will give the
birds to captains of vessels, who will take
them out four or five miles, gradually
increasing the distance until the West
Indies are reached. It will enable the
signal service, if the birds can be sue
cessfuly trained, to give quicker and
more definite and reliable information IN
regard to the prevalence and character of
storms, and the condition of the weather
on the several islands. 1t is calculated a
pigeon will make the trip between Mas
sau and Key West, about sixty miles, in
one hour and half.

Water is colder at the bottom than al
the surface. In the many bays on the
coast of Norway the water often freezes
at the bottom before it does above.
Waves are very deceptive. To look at
them il storm one would think the
water travelled. The water stays in the
same place, but the motion goes on.
Sometimes in storms these waves are
forty feet high and travel fifty miles an
hour, more than twice as fast as the
swiftest steamer. The distance from
valley to valley is generally fifteen times
the height; hence a wave five feet high
will extend over seventy five feet of water.
The force of the sea dashing on sea rock
is said to be seventeen tons for each
square yard.

A German professor spent twenty
years in studying the habits and charac
teristics of certain snail and learned
this interesting fact concerning it. On
the Pacific coasts of America, where it is
found IN great abundance, it is preyed
upon by certain fish which abounds in
the Pacific ocean. AS an aid in escap-
ing from its formidable enemy it has
been provided with an eye on the back
of its head. The same snail is found on
the Atlantic coast exactly like its far
western brother in every particular ex-
cept that it has no posterior eye. And
the reason for this is that there is no cor
responding fish to prey upon it in the
Atlantic ocean.-Boston Budget.
